Curing Chalk Cloth

For best results you need to prep your chalk cloth before use. To cure your new chalk cloth simply lay a piece of chalk on its side on the chalk cloth surface, and rub all over, side to side and then wipe clean. Now, do this one more time rubbing your chalk up and down. Wipe it clean one last time and the chalk cloth is now ready for use. Grab some chalk and have a blast!

Great Ideas for Oilcloth

Oilcloth Safety

Please note that the recent Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) prohibits oilcloth garments such as bibs and aprons or toys for children. While there are no heavy metals in oilcloth, it does contain Phthalates, which softens the plastic coating used to manufacture Oilcloth. With this in mind it may not be suited for Snack Bags and Sandwich Wraps especially for children. I suggest using the more family friendly Laminated Cottons. Also note we plan to expand our selection of this new lux oilcloth in the near future.
